I’ve been on this MUSC weight loss program. At a recent weekly session, one of the behavioral experts suggested that I should come up with some rewards for myself for meeting certain goals or for maintaining healthy behavior for certain lengths of time. As I mentioned over at Patrick’s Place, they weren’t all that amused when I suggested that I’d like to set a meal at Outback as one of my possible rewards. So that got me thinking about this week’s question, particularly considering that I have to have a list of suggested rewards as a “homework” assignment for tomorrow’s session.
But first, kudos goes to Allison of “We’re all mad here,” said the Cheshire Cat to Alice because she was first to play last week!
Time to play!
THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:
Suppose you’re on a weight loss program and you’re urged to come up with “rewards” for yourself for sticking to the program. Name up to seven rewards, that can’t be related to food, that you would set for yourself.
Either answer the question in a comment or answer it in your journal and include the link in a comment. (To be considered “first to play,” a link must be to the specific entry in which you answered the question.)
I’d already given you some suggestions, here’s more at The Daily Snooze. Sorry you didn’t have them in hand for your meeting yesterday. Such is life.
Carry on.
Well, I’m finally up and running. Speaking of diets, I have been meaning to tell you I love your new picture posted on your profile. You are looking great! De 😉

I can deal with this challenge. Let me lose.

Good question, mine are up
here
I’d do all of them anyway, and not just as rewards – I don’t wait to do things I like if I can manage them.
1. Buy some new books.
2. Buy a new outfit.
3. Spend a day hiking or going to the zoo, etc.
4. (if I were rich) iPhone
5. roadtrip (if I had time and $)
6. fix something in my house (like new tile on floor, or something like that)
7. hmm, I dunno
But I think it is wrong they can’t be food related – if you are going to be able to stick with something for a lifetime, you have to be able to eat something you like once in a while – it just needs to be a genuine reward and not a habit.
Mine are up – thanx! This was hard!
1. all-expense paid trip to the Bahamas
2. year-long pass to the movies
3. year-long subscription to 7 of my favorite magazines
4. a new laptop
5. lifetime free membership to the gym
6. lifetime free membership to netflix
7. unlimited budget to shop for new outfits, since now i’m like 4-5 sizes smaller
